Kidnapping in California is considered a “strike” under California’s Three Strikes Law; meaning that if convicted of kidnapping, you could be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole if you have a previous criminal record. One of the most serious crimes in California, kidnapping includes the acts of taking, holding, or detaining another person by fear or force and moving that person against his or her will to another location. If charged with or under investigation for kidnapping, you need to contact an experienced Los Angeles kidnapping criminal defense lawyer.

The severity of penalties for kidnapping varies depending upon the circumstances of the offense. Many times a kidnapping case is deemed a “strike” and a violent felony. Consequently, a convicted defendant must serve at a minimum of 85 percent of his or her sentence before being released. If a person is subsequently charged with another felony, his or her sentence for the new offense is doubled because of the previous kidnapping conviction, a strike conviction. Once two strikes are reached, if a third felony conviction occurs, the defendant can be sentenced to 25 years to life as punishment.
